Farm Fence Installation in Sturgeon, MO
Columbia Farm Fence builds farm fence in Sturgeon, Missouri. We install field fence, high-tensile smooth wire, barbed wire, board and rail fence, welded pipe corrals, and farm gates. We are licensed and insured in Missouri and we run the northwest corner of Boone County.
Sturgeon began in 1856 as a stop on the North Missouri Railroad and it stayed a quiet farm town. Pasture blocks up here are big, and big blocks change the math. Over a long run high tensile smooth wire costs less per foot than woven wire and holds tension for years. It also loads the ends harder. Every strand pulls toward the end of the run, and the end assembly takes all of it. On runs this long we build double H-braces at the corners and carry in-line strainers on each wire, so tension is a number you can read off a spring rather than something you judge by hand.
Wire moves with the weather. It tightens through a Missouri winter and slackens in August heat. A strainer takes the slack back out in a few minutes. Without one you restretch the whole fence.
Cattle go against a fence, so the bottom wires get spaced tighter than the top. A five strand barbed fence stands about four and a half feet with the lowest wire roughly a foot off the ground, which is where calves try first.
